Energy Work With Crystals And Stones

Crystals and gemstones are a powerful means of channeling energies and reinforcing manifestation intentions. The energy frequency of some crystals can attract love, romance, abundance and prosperity, while others promote good health, mental clarity, inner peace and letting go of limiting beliefs.

Learning how to use crystals and tune in with their energy vibrations can enrich your daily spiritual practice and give your manifesting efforts a substantial boost.

But is crucial to keep in mind that the energy effects of crystals and stones work in subtle and nuanced ways. They are not decisive metaphysical tools that will instantly transform your life from one day to the next. They are not miraculous; they are just accomplices on your journey.

How do they work? Each crystal or stone has its own magical essence or metaphysical power that arises from its particular energy frequency. This unique energy signature is determined by its molecular composition and crystalline structure.

A simple way to get started with crystal work is to classify the metaphysical properties of minerals and stones by their color. This will help you quickly identify the ideal stones for a particular purpose and effectively use them in your day-to-day life. But, of course, keep in mind that this is only a classification in general terms.

Yellow: energy, success, improvement, joy.

Blue: water, healing, communication, inspiration, calm.

White: clarity, purity, communication, peace, spirituality.

Purple: magic, dreams, divination, spirituality.

Black: divination, protection, shield.

Orange: sexuality, fertility, mental balance, creativity, power.

Red: passion, love, strength, perseverance.

Pink: self-love, friendship, healing, romance, consensus.

Green: friendship, abundance, nature.

Like people, each crystal is unique and has a different story to tell…Each stone has its own vibrational blueprint, so take the time to shop around for different types before you decide which one is perfect for you ~ Heather Askinosie

There are however minerals that, although their color may superficially indicate a certain use, its true power can be discovered with further, deeper investigation.

Let’s take a closer look at some of my favorite essential crystals for daily spiritual practice, that are also relatively easy to find.

Heartbreak: Rose Quartz is the best for soothing a broken heart. It helps to remove all the affective blocks and releases them definitively.

Stress: Amethyst is the stone of the soul, transition, and spiritual awakening. It calms the mind and balances the cerebral hemispheres. It is advisable to have an Amethyst Druse or Geode, both at home and at work, as it helps to transmute negative energies in the environment.

Abundance: Gold-colored Pyrite has many metaphysical qualities but is best known for attracting abundance and prosperity. It is recommended to place it in the ‘money corner’ of your office or business, which according to Feng Shui, is the left corner furthest from the front door, or at least on your desk in the same direction.

Spiritual Growth: Fluorite is recommended for use in meditation. It cleanses and stabilizes the aura. It purifies, dissipates, and reorganizes everything in the body that is not in order and helps to overcome chaos. It is a protective stone. Citrine emits an intense golden yellow light that acts on the solar plexus. It supports us in our spiritual development and in relating to others. It is also associated with abundance and prosperity.

Health: Shungite is a powerful stone. It is black and carbonaceous and provides mental, emotional, and spiritual stability and protection. It especially offsets potentially harmful radiation caused by electromagnetic waves from the digital devices we use every day, such cell phones, computers, and Wi-Fi. It helps to absorb and eliminate what is harmful to our health and is effective in treating pain. Best of all, it does not need frequent energy charging, nor cleansing.

You can trust your feelings when it comes to crystals. It is said that crystals find us, we don’t find them. If you’re meant to work with them, you’ll be drawn to them, and that will become apparent ~ Boni Lonnsburry

For the stones and crystals to have a robust effect, they must preferably touch the skin. A good option is to wear them as jewelry. Alternatively, you can also hold them in your left hand for at least 20 minutes, allowing it time to interact with your aura.

Before using your new crystals and stones, they must be cleansed, charged, and programmed. Here are simple and basic ways to do it.

Cleansing: Most stones can be cleaned under running water for a couple of minutes, excluding salt stones, selenites, and those that are soluble in liquids. Smudging them with incense smoke will also provide excellent results.

Charging: Ideally, charge your crystals with moonlight from dusk to dawn. The energy of your crystals and stones may diminish at times. To revitalize them it is enough to let them rest for a while on an Amethyst Druse, or allow them to sunbathe for an hour, but be careful not to expose them to harsh sunlight, especially at noon.

Programming: Each stone and crystal must be individually programmed for a specific purpose, goal or intention. Take it with your left hand and bring it to the level of your heart. Now, look at it, repeat the name of the crystal or stone three times, and then say, “I activate you for…” stating your intention or the purpose. This is merely an example that you may modify according to your own intuition. Programming should be repeated after 7 days and, then at 14, and so on.

It is beneficial for us to talk to the spiritual energies around us. It empowers our thoughts, emotions and intentions to cross metaphysical barriers.Just like your cat or dog may not recognize the true meaning of all your words, they do connect with your vocal tone, body language, and energy vibration, making communication with them a reality. You should treat your crystals in a similar friendly manner and simply talk to them. In a way they are essentially living entities whose energy interacts with ours, providing healing, power, and inspiration.
